Ever cried or felt overly emtional over a stupid……..scene in a book, manga or movie?

even though the scene wasn't that super sad or depressing to start with?

that happened to me yesterday. I brought the latest volume of Guru Guru pon-chan, an manga that was an romanatic comedy about an dog who fell in love with an human man, and magically turns into an human woman with the help of the Guru bone.

anyway, it had an scene in it that wasn't that paulicarly sad, but for some reason it just hit me hard and I started bawling for no good reason. in fact I cried so hard I had this lump in my throat and everything. Nearly got the hiccups. and I was like “WTF, why am I crying, this isn't THAT sad!”

I got to be pretty werid to cry over an story that's supposed to be a comedy even if it does have it dramatic moments.

so, anybody else have something werid like that happen too?

Miyazaki has an executive producer credit, but most of the thematic stuff is due to the source material. Omohide Poro Poro was originally a manga with the same themes present in the movie. Miyazaki didn't have any more influence over the movie than Takahata had over Nausicaa and Laputa.

I've only cried once while reading a manga and it was years ago. I don't even remember the character's name but it was in Rumiko Takahashi's Mermaid Forest (or possibly Mermaid Scar) where this girl dies and they burn her. Or maybe she dies from burning. I so don't remember. It was just sad.

I usually don't cry over something stupid. The last thing i cried from was in the movie Rent when Angel dies.

did you know that Howl's Moving Castle was written by Diana Wynne Jones, one of my favortive fantasy authors? Gibli and Miyazaki just turned it into an very cool anime movie. :D

the only downside about the movie is that they kinda left off in the middle, where the book's story was. there was so much more to it, but then again I guess it would had made for one long-ass movie. :lol:

not even the same movie you two were talking about.. but I thought I'd throw that in there.

I think I cried when Digimon ended…back in 2003. Yeah, they still have seasons 3-5, but those aren't that good. 3 is pretty good, but the first two had this great quality to them that I loved as a kid. I was really upset when they ended.

I've read some novels and short stories that have been quite emotional towards the end… One was about this women's nephew who was dyeing of cancer. On the final day when he was nearing the end she was distraught and didn't know what to do. It just followed her own desperation and feelings of being helpless and powerless. And then she finds a real leprechaun who actually offers her a way out for the boy, but because of her desperate state of mind this all seems like her brain is just playing tricks on her and inventing silly fantasies, (and maybe it was).

Emotional stuff is nice to read (or watch), it connects you more strongly with the story, but it gets stupid if they over do it (like “Dancer in the Dark”), especially with soap operas.

Yeah… I haven't cried at movie for years, but when s/he died… they did an awesome job with that.

..If any of you were ever forced by your school teachers to read “Of Mice and Men,” you know the ending is a bit of a shocking way to end an incredibly boring book (in my opinion).

Well, I remember we were watching the most recent movie during class. I must admit the cinematic version was very well done. But I'm really not the kind to cry at movies, and I was EXPECTING the “twist” at the end anyway.

Spoiler: Lennie gets shot in the head by George, of course.

Well, we saw it, and all of a sudden something pulled my hearstrings like two robotic arms would stretch a pair of rubber bands, and I immediately began to cry. I cried and cried and cried, and when I cry, I wail a bit too. It was horribly embarassing, no one else was crying, and everyone was staring at me.

And..

My parents decided to show me “Edward Sissorhands” late last year, and I really liked it. I didn't cry during the movie, but one scene stuck in my mind. There was this part where Ed's “creator” was about to give him human hands, but he then falls dead for no reason.

The next day, I was folding clothes when I thought about that one scene. I dropped the clothes and started to cry and cry for no reason. I totally cried for like an hour over stupid Edward Sissorhands. I'm just glad I was at home that time..

The absolute stupidest thing I have ever cried over is this one time when I was playing Sim City. I was doing this mass riot scenario game and they wouldn't stop rioting, no matter what I did, and I just started crying because I hundreds of imaginary people hated me.

ok so the other night i wake up after having a dream about my Ex GF (one which I've had 3 times since then) and started to cry cos it was all about how we had broken up and i felt bad (despite the fact we've been broken up like 2 YEARS!!!) so i proceed to get out of bed at 2am and write a letter to her explaining that i need to meet her so we can talk cos i have a bad conscience about how i treated her………WHAT THE F***!

Obviously after going back to sleep and waking up at a sensible time realising that i was being a prat. Only problem is I keep having dreams about her!!!! Help… :cry:

I'm such a girl when it comes to things - I used to not be.. but, yeah, I cried when Optimus Prime died. I cried when the Pokemon saved Ash. I cried when Cedric Digory Died. I cried when Harry's Patronus was a Stag, I cried when Frodo went off to Valinor.

Dumbest thing though would be that I cried at the end of the 40 year old Virgin. Not sad tears, I cried because it was sooooo sweet when he said “All my life I thought there was something wrong with me, but I realize that I was just waiting for you”

….Yeah…

I think I even once creid during Fergully: The Last Rainforest don't remember why though.

There is a book called Dancing On The Edge which just made me dissolve into tears at the very end. I was sitting in the car reading it and I just burst into sobs. It was funny afterwards because my friend almost drove off of the road thinking that there was something wrong with me…XD

I was watching Reflections (Samurai X OVA, doncha know?) and my little sister walked in just in time for the last five minutes. Although I felt a wave of regret wash over me at the turn of events in it, my little sister was wailing with sorrow at the end. And she didn't even know who the characters on the screen were.

I was upset when I saw that, too… POOR KENSHIN!!! I have that movie :D
